We are in the heart of the holiday season. You've probably bought some gifts for your friends, family - maybe even a coworker or two. But have you thought about what to get your pet?

Treats and toys are always fun. But the gift of dog training may be something that lasts you and your dog a lifetime.

Why Your Dog Would Love Chicago Dog Training

We know why you might love dog training. You get a dog that walks better on a leash, jumps less on guests, and maintains their composure when faced with other dogs. Dog training is a great way to make sure your dog is as well behaved as possible.

But that's a gift for you. How is that a gift for your dog?

Many dog families forget how much dog training benefits dogs as well. Dogs love dog training, because:

  • All dogs WANT to be the best possible members of the family. They experience stress when they don't understand what you want and do not know what you need. By training your dog, they have a better understanding of the behaviors you're looking for, and they ultimately feel happier when they're around you.
  • Similarly, dogs that train with you feel a stronger bond. Training your dog - both with the dog trainer and at home when you've learned the techniques - help your dog feel closer to you, which in turn makes them much happier.

By default, dogs that finish dog training are also more likely to get and receive positive attention from their owners, which is something that all dogs love. 

Dog Training is the Gift that Keeps on Giving

You can gift your dog treats or toys. But treats run out, and most dogs only love a toy for a few minutes before moving on to the next distraction. Dog training, on the other hand, has long lasting benefits for you and long lasting benefits for your dog. This makes it the gift that keeps on giving - the perfect present for your furry friend.

Our Philosophy & Goals

Our philosophy is simple. Improve the life of both dog and family. All too often, unruly dogs do not fully enjoy life because their families constantly become upset and frustrated with them. This is difficult for both family and dog.
 
Our mission is simple. Make both dog and family happy.
 
What does is take to make your dog happy? He will thrive when you give him leadership and attention.


 
Making the family happy is a bit more complex.

Families typically want their dog to:

  • Come when called, every time, on or off leash
  • Walk nicely on a loose leash without pulling
  • Sit until released
  • Down until released

Families also want their dogs:

  • Not to jump on people
  • Not to charge through doors
  • Not to dig in the garden
  • Not to bark and chew  inappropriately
  • Not to climb on furniture you prefer they avoid
  • Not to sniff and eat off the table and counters.
  • Not to be wild and uncontrollable
  • Not to ignore you when you want their attention
